Lieberman to call for Rumsfeld resignation

RAW STORY
Published: Friday August 4, 2006


US Senator Joe Lieberman (D-CT) will appear, momentarily, on the Ed Schultz show, a nationally syndicated radio program on which he will call for the resignation of Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, RAW STORY has learned.

Sources have told RAW STORY that Lieberman will make a point of saying that while whether or not Rumsfeld leaves his post is the decision of President Bush, he should resign.

RAW STORY will post the audio when it becomes available.

1. LMFAO!! he isn't too obvious, is he? nt

[elehhhhna]

45. Next : Joe announces party switch -- will become a Democrat

[Cooley Hurd]

2. Joe's gonna need a job soon...

...why not Rummy's? :rofl:

[tridim]

3. Joementum is turning into to Joe-desperation

[mikeytherat]

27. He's Joe-blivious!

Joe-sperate times call for Joe-sperate measures!

Hard starboard and full-steam toward the iceberg!

4. Why would Joe do that? Isn't that like criticizing this president at his own

peril???

[MrCoffee]

5. Is he taking campaign advice from Katie Harris?

Wanker.

[AndyA]

6. Oh, Joe, Joe...there's no such thing as losing with dignity, is there?

This is all just so terribly desperate and transparent. And embarrassing. Embarrassing for you, Joe. Too little, too late.

[calico1]

7. Soooo transparent. n/t

[LynneSin]

8. This will be good practice to help us recognize when Republicans

start doing the same thing closer to the election.

I would have had more respect for Lieberman if he just stood his ground about the war. There are people in connecticut who still support the war and they need their candidate too.

Like a week ago Rick Santorum signed some letter saying he would pledge to fight GLBT discrimination and we all know that is a load of crap. Signing a letter isn't like actually going to congress and fighting for legislation to actually make the difference.

[spanone]

9. Nothing as obvious as a desperate politician. Anyway the wind blows.

[Frank Cannon]

10. HA HA!! So Joementum is finally finding some gonads...

in that leprechaun-like physique of his. Well, good for him.

Too little, too late, Joey.

[Xenotime]

11. Joe. You are being handed your hat...

leave with what little dignity you have left.

[kurth]

12. How about a BushCo impeachment, Joe?

What a weasel.

[Fridays Child]

13. If this turns out to be accurate, it's the most cynical act of...

...desperation by a politician to come down the pike, in a long, long time.

[WA98296]

14. ROTFL Clinton...now Lieberman? Brawhaaaaaa

[blm]

28. Sounds like something's up, and it sounds like Bill/Bush are behind it

Which means this is likely a dog and pony show with the outcome already known and players are just playing their assigned parts, including Rummy.

[RaleighNCDUer]

15. Breaking! Facing plummeting numbers, Lieberman calls upon

Lieberman to resign! Seeking to tap into the anti-Lieberman sentiment in disaffected democrats, Joe Lieberman called upon himself to resign, forcing a special election. Capitalizing on the good will generated by his resignation he hopes to beat back Lamont's challenge, leaving him facing only himself.

[MrCoffee]

16. LMFAO

Too funny.

[Fridays Child]

17. Joe, you can't unkiss a president.

[EFerrari]

25. LOL! Nice.

:)

[Beetwasher]

18. Joe "We Undermine Presidential Cred. at Our Nation's Peril" Lieberman?

What a transparently pathetic douche.

[Hubert Flottz]

39. Kiss a neocon dic...

tator on the head at your own peril JoJo!

Edit...

Jojo was a man who thought he was an owner
But he knew it wouldn't last.
Jojo lost his seat because he was a moaner
And he kissed the GOPers ass.

Get back, get back.
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back.
Get back to where you once belonged.
Get back Jojo. Go home
Get back, get back.
Back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back.
Back to where you once belonged.
Get back Jo.

Your mother's waiting for you
Wearing her high-heel shoes

[Pierre.Suave]

19. If you could see me now

I am shaking my head in disgust...

[dogday]

20. Can you say a little too late? I know you can.....

Uh too late Joe... Maybe if you had voted more with the Democrats than with the Republicans, or not supported this war at all, but what you are doing means nothing to me......

[DianaForRussFeingold]

21. Rumsfeld must be resigning anyway. Just a way to manipulate the vote

:nopity:

[SammyWinstonJack]

22. Oh brother! Reeks of major desperation too me!

:rofl: Who does he think he is kidding anyway? :eyes: Does he have any orginal ideas? :yoiks:

[GreenTea]

23. How much weight will a outgoing defeated Senator have? None! HYPE!!!!

A desperate Liebermann at best...Why hasn't Lieberman said a word until now?

[MrCoffee]

24. Radiohead took the words right out of my mouth

I will stop, I will stop at nothing.
Say the right things when electioneering
I trust I can rely on your vote.

[tridim]

29. Freaky.. The second I read your post Randi had a Radiohead bumper

[DianaForRussFeingold]

26. Rumsfeld steps down ,Bush nominates Lieberman ?

If the Secretary of Defense steps down -- and a lot of people think that he will, that the pResident is maybe thinking of nominating Joe Lieberman to be Secretary of Defense.

31. Udate from Ed Schultz Show

"Rumsfeld serves at the pleasure of the President. But, I can tell you this, if I were President, I would say "Thank you, but we need some new leadership at the Pentagon."

Schultz then asked, "So you think Rumsfeld should go?" After an extended response by Lieberman, Schultz said that he was assuming Lieberman's answer to the question was "yes," "I have to take that as a "yes" I think our audience would take it as a "yes"."

Lieberman replied, "Yeah. Yeah Yeah. -- No,. No, it is a "yes"."

[tinfoilinfor2005]

33. I heard it. Didn't sound like much of a call for him to resign.

Sounded more like Ed had his head in a vice and was getting ready to pull out his fingernails.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

32. Tin Foil Radar Up! Ok, Stay With Me Here, Can Ya Follow?

What if, just whattttt if, this is a signal (like the ones embedded in alqaeda videos lol) to shrubby that it is now ok to let rummy go. Remember the rumors that Lieberman was going to be the new sec of defense? Maybe this is Joe's way of conceding that he will no longer be in congress, and that he now wants the job. By saying to shrubby "get rid of rummy" he's really saying "ok shrubby, I'm gonna be free of my Congressional committments. I'm in now."

Ya think?

[kpete]

34. I think

what you thunk...

[AnnInLa]

35. Am the teensiest bit leery of this info

Surely he would know how much that move would smack of desperation? Surely he could kiss his chances of a BIG job with bushco good-bye if he did this?

The only reason he would do this is that he is sure he will lose the primary and is setting himself as the Independent candidate, pandering to the anti-war CT voters in the fall. If he does do it, I will know that he will run as an Independent, instead of bowing out gracefully.

[AnnInLa]

36. just saw k-pete's update

didn't sound like much of a "call for rummy to resign" to me, but I guess it is vague enough for him to go back and say, "see, I did call for the resignation." good grief.

[Cha]

41. Yeah, like ..

"it wasn't really a kiss." :crazy:

[DemonFighterLives]

37. Plan B

Lieberman to be War Dept. head.
Israel receives the green light.
WW3 is on!
:woohoo:

[Warren DeMontague]

38. He supports the preznit, he supports the war...

but you know, Rumsfeld's gotta go. :eyes:

[Hubert Flottz]

The Party's Over

Turn out the lights
The party's over
They say that
All good things must end
Call it tonight
The party's over
And tomorrow starts
The same old thing again

42. That's a concession?

Ah don't thank so.

[B Calm]

43. What do you expect from a guy who was too chicken to give up

his senate run to another democrat when he was running on Al Gore's ticket.

[elehhhhna]

44. JOWLmentum jumps shark. Details at 10.

[Lerkfish]

46. fits my theory, I predicted this already....

47. Obviously Rummy is fair game

King George must have given ole Joe the green light. Rummy does have to go, the generals kind of openly disagreed with him, the world kind of openly disagrees with him. And Joe STILL had a hard time getting the words out.

Joementum - the first republican to call for Rummy's departure..kind of.
